Talk Title: Use of capillary packed with sub 2 mm modified silica particles for enantiomers separation by nano-LC

Salvatore Fanali is a Senior Researcher at the Institute of Physical and Analytical Chemistry, School of Exact and Natural Sciences, Tbilisi State University, Tbilisi, Georgia. He was head of the “Capillary Electromigration and Chromatographic Methods” Unit at Institute of Chemical Methodologies-C.N.R., Monterotondo, Italy and member of the Scientific Board at the PhD School in Natural Science and Engineering at University of Verona, Italy. His research focus on i studies on molecular recognition chiral and achiral interactions applying capillary chromatographic and electromigration methods; ii development of new separation techniques electromigration and chromatographic methods such as CZE, MEKC, CEC, nano-LC, and HPLC, respectively and hyphenation with mass spectrometry MS; iii synthesis of new chiral stationary phases for CEC and nano-LC. Preparation of packed capillaries with different stationary phases; iv preparation of monolithic columns and frits; v method optimization for applications to drug, peptides, enantiomers, herbicides, food, environment, biomedical and forensic compounds analysis. He published more than 360 papers in the above mentioned fields. Author of several chapters’ books and co-editor of the three books “Liquid Chromatography” Elsevier, 2013, 2017, 2023. He was Editor of the J. Chromatography A 2007-2023 and Editor-in-Chief of the J. Separation Science. He obtained some international Awards, e.g., Liberti medal in Analytical Chemistry, Nota medal for the contribution given in the field of capillary liquid chromatography. In 2015 he was voted as one of “the Top 100 most influential people in the world of analytical science” Analytical Scientists Power List.
